Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC716lp3(e) is a GaAs pHemT mmiC
low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for fixed wireless
and lTe/wimAX/4G basestation front-end receivers
operating between 3.1 and 3.9 GHz. The amplifier
has been optimized to provide 1 dB noise figure,
18 dB gain and +33 dBm output ip3 from a single
supply of +5V. input and output return losses are
excellent and the lNA requires minimal external
matching and bias decoupling components. The
HmC716lp3(e) can be biased with +3V to +5V and
features an externally adjustable supply current
which allows the designer to tailor the linearity
performance of the lNA for each application.
